Back with cloth diapers

For a few months I had to stop using cloth diapers on my daughter because she got a really bad rash. We're still not sure what it was from, but the daughter advised using disposables until it cleared up. I was a little uneasy about having to buy diapers because of the price and because of the environmental issues, but I knew I had to do what was best for Rosemary.


I ended up getting a lot for free using CVS extra care bucks but sometimes I did have to buy a box of diapers. My daughter goes through a LOT of diapers because she's a heavy wetter. We were going through a box of diapers every week for $13 (the cheapest brand I could find is Walmart's).


Now that everything is going up in price and we're still trying to get out of debt, I knew something had to be done to save some more money. So one of the things that could be changed was the diapers. Rosemary's rash was cleared for months now and I guess I got used to the convenience of disposables and she was all outgrown of her old cloth diapers so I never went back. Now it was time. I found about 20 AIO (all in ones) diapers on Craigslist for $75.


$75 might sound like a lot, but all the diapers were brand names, Kushies, Fuzzibunz, etc and they cost more than $10 a piece retail. The best thing was that they were all in ones and a few pockets, which meant they were very easy to use. Once she outgrows these or is fully potty trained, I can turn around and resell them, along with all her other old diapers!


So now I'm back into the cloth diaper thing and I feel better that I'm saving money and not throwing away so many diapers, Rosemary also seems more comfortable too!
